The prince is very cruel

Yuan Tao nodded: "The other person on the wanted list, right?"

"No problem, I'll send someone to look for him immediately. As long as he enters the city, I can find him."

Guan Ning was relieved after hearing this and clasped his fists tightly: "Thank you very much."

Yuan Tao didn't say anything else, but just looked at him again deeply.

Shengqi's background was also revealed on the wanted list. The empire's serious criminals were all ruthless people, but they were all Guan Ning's subordinates. This made him feel that Guan Ning was unfathomable.

As soon as he left, the people at the scene completely dispersed.

"Brother Guan, Brother Guan." Tang Xiang'er came late at this time.

"Why did you come out?"

"I heard a lot of noise over here just now. What happened?" She asked curiously, holding a bamboo basket, her forehead covered with sweat.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay."

"What delicious food did you make?"

"I borrowed some corn, beat it into rice milk, and then steamed some corn buns that I ate when I was a child, as well as some pickles and rice porridge." Tang Xiang'er opened the basket as if presenting a treasure.

It's steaming hot, simple and unadorned, but entirely handmade.

Guan Ning smiled warmly and wiped her sweat: "Silly girl, you don't know how to grind corn, you did it yourself, right?"

Tang Xianger smiled shyly: "As long as Brother Guan likes it."

"Let's go back and eat together."

"After you finish eating, I'll give you a gift." He had completely forgotten what happened not long ago.

Tang Xiang'er's eyes lit up: "Gift?"

"Brother Guan, what gift?"

"You'll know in a minute."

"Oh ok."

"..."

After breakfast, because of his special status, he couldn't go out. In addition, he was at someone else's house, and because of Yuan Xiang's impulse, he didn't go anywhere.

Instead, he stayed quietly in his own small courtyard.

As for the gift for Tang Xiang'er, it was a book that I asked Butler Yang to buy.

When she was in the mountains, she once said that her favorite thing was reading, but when she was in Heishui County, she had no chance to read, nor was she qualified to read.

Every time I could only watch secretly, and if I was caught by Tang Zhuer, I would be beaten.

So Guan Ning specially selected a book for her called "Thirteen Books for Women", which is one of the most famous books in the Dawu Dynasty and was written by a woman.

It records the tragic story of a woman who was married to a wild land, but eventually lived out her own life, which is similar to Tang Xiang'er's experience.

After receiving the book, Tang Xiang'er was so excited that she almost stood on tiptoe to kiss Guan Ning.

Afterwards, she sat on the corridor reading a book while Guan Ning practiced martial arts in the yard. The two of them kept each other company without disturbing each other.

The wind blows the fallen leaves, and the scene is very pleasant.

When I am tired, Tang Xianger always puts down her book and hands me a cup of tea, which brings me hard-earned peace.

In this way, time passed until evening.

Guan Ning was a person who couldn't sit still. He was really bored. Thinking that there would be fewer people at night, he decided to take a walk around Sima Mansion, so he took Tang Xiang'er out with him.

Of course, there will be someone accompanying you throughout the trip.

"Brother Guan, that tree is so beautiful."

"This mansion is really magnificent, even more beautiful than the mansion of the magistrate of Heishui County." Tang Xiang'er was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, her round black eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

"I like it, I like it. Brother Guan will give you one in the future?" Guan Ning joked.

Tang Xiang'er blushed. In ancient times, when a man gave a woman a house, it meant he was raising her as a child.

"Then...Brother Guan, will you live here?" She asked this question for some reason and regretted it right after she asked it.

"Stop." Guan Ning blurted out.

In an instant, Tang Xiang'er's heart blossomed, her cheeks flushed, and she looked down at her toes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The evening breeze was charming and we walked for a long time.

Suddenly, Guan Ning stopped and asked, "Isn't that Butler Yang?"

"It's true." Tang Xiang'er said.

"Let's go over and say hello." Guan Ning had a good impression of the butler named Yang, which reminded him of Butler Bai. Both of them were loyal, kind and hardworking old men.

"Butler Yang." Guan Ning shouted from a distance.

Butler Yang turned around, originally with a worried look on his face, but immediately put on a smile: "Master, why are you here?"

Guan Ning smiled and said, "The courtyard is too stuffy, so I thought of asking the servants to take me out for a walk. I hope I don't disturb the old housekeeper."

Butler Yang couldn't help but smile. His face was full of wrinkles, and he also had a good impression of the polite Guan Ning.

"I see."

"The scenery at home is indeed beautiful. My master is a flower lover and has planted many flowers and plants. He must be very pleased that you can enjoy them."

"Of course I won't disturb you."

Guan Ning was about to say something when suddenly, a noisy sound came from the mahogany building on the left.

"Take it, take it!"

"I will not eat!"

"roll!"

boom!

Crackling...

It was the sound of porcelain exploding, and a woman's excited voice.

Suddenly, Butler Yang looked embarrassed.

Guan Ning suddenly realized that this was the place where Yuan Xiang was imprisoned. It looked a bit like an ancestral hall.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. The young lady is in a bad mood and refuses to eat." Butler Yang had a sad look on his face, and his old eyes were filled with the affection of a father licking his child. After all, he was the one who brought her up.

He had no descendants, so he treated the young lady as his own granddaughter.

Guan Ning frowned: "She is angry and will definitely not eat. Wait until she is hungrier and send it to her. It should be better."
